Attributes

validation_reflections [R]

A hash of validation reflections for this model class. Keys are column symbols, values are an array of two element arrays, with the first element being the validation type symbol and the second being a hash of validation options.
validations [R]

A hash of validations for this model class. Keys are column symbols, values are arrays of validation procs.

skip_superclass_validations()

Instructs the model to skip validations defined in superclasses

81 def skip_superclass_validations
82   superclass.validations.each do |att, procs|

86   end
87   @skip_superclass_validations = true

skip_superclass_validations?()

92   @skip_superclass_validations
93 end
validate(o)

Validates the given instance.

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_class_methods.rb
116 def validate(o)
117   validations.each do |att, procs|
118     v = case att
119     when Array
120       att.map{|a| o.get_column_value(a)}
121     else
122       o.get_column_value(att)
123     end
124     procs.each {|tag, p| p.call(o, att, v)}
125   end
126 end
validates(&block)

Defines validations by converting a longhand block into a series of shorthand definitions. For example:

class MyClass < Sequel::Model
  validates do
    length_of :name, minimum: 6
    length_of :password, minimum: 8
  end
end

is equivalent to:

class MyClass < Sequel::Model
  validates_length_of :name, minimum: 6
  validates_length_of :password, minimum: 8
end
[show source]

111 def validates(&block)
112   Generator.new(self, &block)
113 end
validates_acceptance_of(*atts)

Validates acceptance of an attribute. Just checks that the value is equal to the :accept option. This method is unique in that :allow_nil is assumed to be true instead of false.

Possible Options:

:accept

The value required for the object to be valid (default: ‘1’)

:message

The message to use (default: ‘is not accepted’)

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_class_methods.rb
135 def validates_acceptance_of(*atts)
136   opts = {
137     :message => 'is not accepted',
138     :allow_nil => true,
139     :accept => '1',
140     :tag => :acceptance,
141   }.merge!(extract_options!(atts))
142   reflect_validation(:acceptance, opts, atts)
143   atts << opts
144   validates_each(*atts) do |o, a, v|
145     o.errors.add(a, opts[:message]) unless v == opts[:accept]
146   end
147 end
validates_confirmation_of(*atts)

Validates confirmation of an attribute. Checks that the object has a _confirmation value matching the current value. For example:

validates_confirmation_of :blah

Just makes sure that object.blah = object.blah_confirmation. Often used for passwords or email addresses on web forms.

Possible Options:

:message

The message to use (default: ‘is not confirmed’)

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_class_methods.rb
159 def validates_confirmation_of(*atts)
160   opts = {
161     :message => 'is not confirmed',
162     :tag => :confirmation,
163   }.merge!(extract_options!(atts))
164   reflect_validation(:confirmation, opts, atts)
165   atts << opts
166   validates_each(*atts) do |o, a, v|
167     o.errors.add(a, opts[:message]) unless v == o.get_column_value(:"#{a}_confirmation")
168   end
169 end
validates_each(*atts, &block)

Adds a validation for each of the given attributes using the supplied block. The block must accept three arguments: instance, attribute and value, e.g.:

validates_each :name, :password do |object, attribute, value|
  object.errors.add(attribute, 'is not nice') unless value.nice?
end

Possible Options:

:allow_blank

Whether to skip the validation if the value is blank.

:allow_missing

Whether to skip the validation if the attribute isn’t a key in the values hash. This is different from allow_nil, because Sequel only sends the attributes in the values when doing an insert or update. If the attribute is not present, Sequel doesn’t specify it, so the database will use the table’s default value. This is different from having an attribute in values with a value of nil, which Sequel will send as NULL. If your database table has a non NULL default, this may be a good option to use. You don’t want to use allow_nil, because if the attribute is in values but has a value nil, Sequel will attempt to insert a NULL value into the database, instead of using the database’s default.

:allow_nil

Whether to skip the validation if the value is nil.

:if

A symbol (indicating an instance_method) or proc (which is used to define an instance method) skipping this validation if it returns nil or false.

:tag

The tag to use for this validation.

311     end
312   end

validates_presence_of(*atts)

Validates the presence of an attribute. Requires the value not be blank, with false considered present instead of absent.

Possible Options:

:message

The message to use (default: ‘is not present’)

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_class_methods.rb
320 def validates_presence_of(*atts)

328     o.errors.add(a, opts[:message]) if db.send(:blank_object?, v) && v != false
329   end
330 end
validates_schema_type(*atts)

Validates whether an attribute has the correct ruby type for the associated database type. This is generally useful in conjunction with raise_on_typecast_failure = false, to handle typecasting errors at validation time instead of at setter time.

Possible Options:

:message

The message to use (default: ‘is not a valid (integer|datetime|etc.)’)

[show source] 
    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_class_methods.rb
358 def validates_schema_type(*atts)
359   opts = {
360     :tag => :schema_type,

367       message = opts[:message] || "is not a valid #{Array(klass).join(" or ").downcase}"
368       o.errors.add(a, message)
369     end
370   end
371 end
validates_uniqueness_of(*atts)

Validates only if the fields in the model (specified by atts) are unique in the database. Pass an array of fields instead of multiple fields to specify that the combination of fields must be unique, instead of that each field should have a unique value.

This means that the code:

validates_uniqueness_of([:column1, :column2])

validates the grouping of column1 and column2 while

validates_uniqueness_of(:column1, :column2)

validates them separately.

You should also add a unique index in the database, as this suffers from a fairly obvious race condition.

Possible Options:

:message

The message to use (default: ‘is already taken’)

    # File lib/sequel/plugins/validation_class_methods.rb
